Gourmet products local specialties and wines Vienna

You know the famous Sachertorte, which is no more than a chocolate cake filled with apricot marmelade and covered with a chocolate glacis. A wonder! It's in this shop that you'll find the best in Vienna, you can even bring them home, well packaged in their wooden box, where they are easily stored.

Italian, Hungarian, Austrian and other continents such as South Africa or Australia.

The equivalent (or almost!) of the Bon Marché de Paris. This chic store is dedicated to luxury food with products from Austria and elsewhere, especially from France... To find out where they come from, look at the little flag drawn on the price label. The shop is beautiful, a large wooden staircase leads to the second level. Collection of chocolate bars, cheese platter, argan oil and exotic fruits, wines and champagnes, to concoct an extra fine gourmet basket. High prices. Restaurant and wine bar as a bonus. Other addresses in Vienna.

One of the many (34 in Vienna!) addresses of this gourmet Viennese coffee and confectionery chain founded in the Austrian capital by Felix Prousek (1918-2003). A happy and resilient alternative to other non-Austrian chains of much lower quality. Here, the cakes and pastries are delicious, the service efficient and the coffee inevitably excellent. It doesn't have the charm of an old Viennese bistro - the house has been modernized - but we appreciate the affordable prices of this Aïda in the city center, near the opera. Divine croissants and sachertorte .

Very, very original! This artisanal company gives confectionery a wonderfully poetic dimension. Flowers blossom into refined delicacies. Real petals and buds gathered from nature are crystallized in the Blüehendes Konfekt workshop to decorate and compose flower bonbons and flower chocolates so beautiful you hardly dare taste them. In the mouth, they melt and explode with flavor. There's no doubt that Michael Diewald is a unique confectioner and a bit of a magician. Tastings and workshops are regularly scheduled.

This small chain of organic bakeries is increasingly successful. It has six bakeries in Vienna. Öfferl's philosophy begins with farmers who care about the environment and the production of high-quality cereals. This is followed by fine flours, live sourdoughs, slow kneading and all the traditional know-how of the baker. The Schottengasse boutique offers a wide variety of breads, sandwiches and drinks to take away or enjoy on the premises, in a bright, beautifully decorated space.

A small, independent shop, where we not only offer you products that are guaranteed organic, but where we encourage you to reduce packaging and therefore waste as much as possible. It's a shop where you do your shopping in bulk. Come with your containers and the planet will be better off. You will find a wide selection of flours, cereals, sugars, dried fruits, rice, pasta, oils, vinegars, coffee, tea, etc., but also fresh fruits and vegetables. Coffee house and catering on site with some tables on the terrace.

It's the market of the popular and trendy 18th district. The Kutschkermarkt's offer is of excellent quality and varied with fruit, vegetables, bread, fish, wine, fruit juices and jams. The flower stalls of the florists add to its charm. Here you can remember Irene Pöhl, one of the pioneers of the market with Pöhl's Käsestand, the city's most famous cheese dairy, and right across the street is Pöhl's Canteen with its sensational breakfast, lunch menu, cheese plates and omelettes.

It is the temple of this ancestral Austrian gourmet speciality brand. The Manner flagship store offers a wide range of diverse Manner items, including the original Manner Neapolitan wafers and the many Manner pink items. The famous Manner confectionery is almost a collector's item, from filled wafers to Keksi Napoli dragees. Not really organic, very caloric, very regressive, even addictive, but when you like... There's a Manner section in every supermarket and grocery store in Vienna.

Did you know that? In Vienna, 27% of the agricultural area is organically farmed. Denn's Biomarkt is well represented in Vienna with about 15 shops and one supermarket. Denn's Biomarkt has a nationwide presence. Viennese organic enthusiasts can buy their supplies in these organic shops, but also at the Freyung organic farmers' market (Friday and Saturday) and at the Kutschkermarkt on Saturday. Denn's Biomarkt offers local fruit and vegetables, meat, cheese and bread, cleaning products and cosmetics - all, of course, bearing the organic label.

On the Lindengasse sidewalk, there is an excellent pastry shop, which is paired with the Vietnamese restaurant Sapa, which offers excellent dishes. The pastry chef is French, he is also an artist. The cakes are succulent, creative, fine... And they would cost twice as much in France! The whole place turns into a trendy establishment in the evening, which is also very pleasant. A very good address at the crossroads of France and Vietnam, Viennese version. Tart'a tata offers chocolate éclairs, lemon tart and other pastries from France.

In the former Jewish quarter, now one of the city's trendiest and friendliest, the Karmelitenmarkt, which has existed on the square of the same name since 1671, is constantly expanding its gastronomic offering. You'll find delicatessens opening their own restaurants, such as Zimmer 37 with its vegetarian cuisine, and fresh, hearty breakfasts nearby at Café-Bar Einfahrt. There are also pizzas, hamburgers, an Austrian wine bar, a beisl for aperitifs... On certain Saturdays, the Slow Food Vienna association runs a stand at the market.

The number of ice cream parlors in the city center is impressive. It was the Italians who came to Vienna to treat the aristocracy to their ice cream. Since then, the ice cream cone has been democratized. Try several, and you'll rarely be disappointed. This one is very popular for its downtown terrace. There's often a queue, but you only have to pass by a few times to finally find a quiet moment. I particularly like the chocolate and yoghurt ice creams... There's a public bench right next to the ice cream. Also espressos... Italian.

Another candy box that incites us to greediness! Here are cupcakes of all colours and flavours according to original recipes that change every day. This tea room shop is an enchantment where chocolate mousse, mint, white chocolate, banana, orange, blueberry, vanilla, raspberry, praline, rose, strawberry are combined. An English variation in the land of pastries, you had to dare... The challenge was won! Tea party and workshops are also on the programme. Sometimes, a small pink caravan spreads these sweets in town.

A precious and delicious candy box where you can stock up on tasty and pretty sweets, candies and treats. You can see the confectioners at work in the open kitchen with traditional Austrian recipes according to the quality criteria of the Viennese confectioners. The company is 150 years old and continues to expand its collection of sweets for the enjoyment of young and old alike. A secret? Gluttony is for young and old alike and it's not even a sin as some would have us believe...

In this bistro-bakery with its minimalist and design decor, you can taste Joseph Weghaupt's organic bread, handmade according to traditional recipes. We highly recommend the breakfast, which comes in a dozen versions and juggles blueberries, pancakes, bacon, porridge, organic eggs, jam and homemade bread... Joseph Brot, a successful brand, has 7 bakeries in Vienna. The café-bistro of this flagship address invites you to taste it on the spot. Will you be able to resist the modernised version of the Sachertorte ?

This is the temple of sweets, where you'll find every type of candy, from the most classic to the most contemporary, some old-fashioned with honey, pine sap, angelica and other natural ingredients, others with artificial flavors and a fizzy effect. 40 types of licorice and chocolates from all over the world. From salted butter caramel to stinging lollipops, the choice is yours. A regressive address! "Au coin sucré" is a delight for young and old alike. A retro window display for this confectionery, open since 1914. A neighborhood institution.

The aristocracy of vinegar and an exceptional address! Gegenbauer vinegar is made and matured in Vienna. A wide range of sour gold with different flavors and different levels of maturation is offered in this luxury boutique. Honey or truffle, red or white... The packaging is charming, and a few bottles make superb gifts. Gourmets will appreciate the subtle flavors of the box with 5 different small bottles. Also some oils and other delicatessen products. A stand at Naschmarkt.

It is the biggest, most famous, most touristic, if not the most authentic market. Some will prefer the small neighbourhood markets. That said, with nearly 120 stalls, you have plenty to stock up on! And for the pleasure of the eyes, the Naschmarkt is still a beautiful and colourful market. You will find a variety of stalls and tables, from the most Viennese to the most exotic, from India to Vietnam and southern Italy. At the entrance to the market, there is a well-stocked wine library. Prefer off-peak hours.
